JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study aimed at investigating the association of delinquency with neuroticism and certain environmental and economical factors. One hundred and ninety-one delinquent boys and 184 delinquent girls of a Detention Home were compared with 200 slum boys and 200 slum girls without any crime history. A Neurotic Personality Inventory was applied to ascertain presence and degree of neuroticism. A Biographical Questionnaire was used to collect information on economical and environmental aspects. It was observed that:(a) The percentages of neurotics among delinquents and non-delinquents were not significantly different.(b) Some environmental factors were criminogenic as these had significantly higher incidences in delinquent groups.(c) A few environmental factors were significantly associated with neuroticism but were not simultaneously so, for all the groups.(d) Some of the results obtained were identical with those obtained in Western countries whereas some difference was also observed.View full abstractDownload PDF (741K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe aim of this study is to investigate the choice strategy under uncertainty. Female subjects were asked to choose their hypothetical marriage partners among 30 alternatives. Results were analyzed by comparing the positions of the accepted and the rejected alternatives on the preference ordinal scales. The preference scale may be divided into at least two regions; the positive and the negative regions. The subjects had a tendency to reject an alternative when more than one of its aspects were in the negative region, and to accept an alternative when all of its aspects were in the positive region.View full abstractDownload PDF (670K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe relationship between the Broca-Sulzer effect and visually evoked potentials (VEPs) was examined with two subjects. In the psychophysical experiment, a flash of disc subtending 52′ in visual angle and of one of the 11 durations ranging from 0 (no stimulus) to 1000 ms was presented by means of a Maxwellian view system. The luminance levels were at 312, 987, and 3120 cd/m2. Brightness judgments were made with the method of magnitude estimation. In the VEP experiment, 300-summed VEPs were obtained from 01 in the 10-20 system at six durations ranging from 0 to 500 ms and at 312 and 3120 cd/m2. As to the VEP components (P1, N1, P2, N2), two indices of the areas ΔP1N1P2 and ΔN1P2N2 were measured with a planimeter and were used for the analysis. The results indicated the positive correlation between the apparent brightness enhancement and the VEP responses.View full abstractDownload PDF (628K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTwo experiments were conducted to investigate second-order conditioning in a licking-based conditioned suppression situation. Experiment I and the first half of Experiment II demonstrated that substantial second-order conditioning could be obtained in this situation. The second half of Experiment II provided a fact that the ability of S2 to elicit the (second-order) CR could be reduced by the extinction of the response to S1 and augmented by the paired presentation of S1 and the augmented US. The results were interpreted from the affirmative point of view concerning the S2-S1 hypothesis that the association formed between S2 and S1 might be involved in second-order conditioning.View full abstractDownload PDF (797K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this research was to examine adolescent narcissistic tendency. While the concept of narcissism is one of the most important contributions of psychoanalysis, it is at the same time one of the most confusing. Difficulties with the concept are apparent. This paper looks at positive aspects of the concept of narcissism as a stage of development in normal adolescents. A questionnaire was administered to 50 male and 100 female university students. Main results were as follows: In adolescent males their narcissistic tendency was associated with Achievement, while in females with Exhibition and Affiliation. Four factors were extracted and they were named as Fixation (Factor I), Achievement (Factor II), Affiliation (Factor III), and Exhibition (Factor IV). Age differences were also found in the adolescent narcissistic tendency.View full abstractDownload PDF (605K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe experiments were designed to compare open-field behavior (OFB) in the ICR/JCL mice in two conditions. In the free condition subjects were free to enter into the open field (OF) from the start box, and in the forced condition subjects were forced to remain in the OF. The effects of free-vs-forced variable were determined by using within- and between-subject designs. While ambulation increased within and between days in the free condition, it decreased in the forced condition. The ambulation/min and the number of rearings/min were greater in the forced subjects than in the free subjects. A negative correlation coefficient was found between the ambulation scores of the free and forced conditions. It was suggested that OFB in the forced condition contained elements to produce emotional hyperactivity.View full abstractDownload PDF (446K)
